Tyson Fury - English
During a recent interview, former world champion Tyson Fury left many stunned by expressing his support for Jake Paul in the context of the much-anticipated fight against Mike Tyson. What was most striking was that Fury did not hesitate to claim that Jake Paul could beat Anthony Joshua, his compatriot and recurrent rival, in a hypothetical comparison with the legendary Mike Tyson
This statement not only generated controversy, but was also seen as a public humiliation of his own brother, Tommy Fury, who previously faced Jake Paul in the ring.

Tyson Fury bets on Jake Paul
Tyson Fury has been known for his provocative comments, but this time he went further by publicly betting $1 million in favor of Jake Paul in an eventual fight against Anthony Joshua. This action was interpreted by many as a way to ridicule AJ, insinuating that Jake Paul, an influencer turned boxer, has more chances of success than the British Olympic champion.
Jake Paul compared to Mike Tyson
The comparison with Mike Tyson was no coincidence. Fury stressed that Jake Paul has an aggressive mindset and promotional strategy reminiscent of the legendary “Iron Mike”. Although Paul lacks Tyson’s professional track record, Fury believes that his media impact and ability to generate attention make him a relevant figure in boxing today.
Mike Tyson is preparing to face Jake Paul
Meanwhile, Mike Tyson himself is preparing for his fight against Jake Paul, which has divided opinion among fans. Some feel that the former champion is risking his legacy, while others see the fight as an opportunity to prove that he still has power in the ring.
Criticism of the traditional boxing industry
Tyson Fury’s stance has also been interpreted as an indirect criticism of the traditional boxing industry, which often underestimates figures like Jake Paul. By backing the influencer, Fury appears to be acknowledging the paradigm shift in the sport, where popularity and spectacle weigh as heavily as technique and experience.
Social media reactions
On social media, the reactions were immediate. Many of Anthony Joshua’s followers were outraged, while Jake Paul’s fans celebrated the support of such an influential figure as Tyson Fury. The controversy is served, and the boxing world remains attentive to every statement that may further ignite the debate.
Changing of the guard in boxing?
With this statement, Tyson Fury has not only ignited the conversation about the future of boxing, but also questioned the position of his brother and Anthony Joshua in the current landscape. The comparison with Mike Tyson, far from being a simple anecdote, could mark a turning point in how the new generations of boxers are perceived.
